The FJ is a good pick. It’s the only one in your list that can do some serious off roading. Yeah, the VX is small. That’s one of the reasons I love it so much, it’s like having a VW GTI on a ½ ton truck chasse and it still handles like a GTI.

Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

Wow! Looks like VW already made one.

Hmmm, interesting "kit car" prototype/concept. After reading the article, it's basically a hodge-podge of different manufacturer's parts. Kinda' like the Shelby Cobra Kit-Car's are a hodge-podge of parts. Still, there are two basic things I don't like about the car-- first, I don't like the "V"; and second, I don't like the "W".
As far as a Concept vehicle out there on the horizon still yet to be built as a possible replacement for the VX; then, I'd have to pick the "Hummer HX/H4". Damn, I hope GM builds it!!!

thats funny you pick the hummer...theres two things i dont like about it...the G and the M.....
looks like a concept R32 to me...
sweet rides- 3.2L motor with BIG turbo...and it is very light with AWD....

Now that's really funny, because GM actually owns Isuzu overseas. You can immediately tell this fact when looking at the white cab-over type city delivery box vans used everywhere in the USA-- some say Isuzu, some say Chevy, and others say GMC; all of which are powered by Detroit Diesel engines-- a GM subsidirary. GM is everywhere, in every market, in every country, and often many times under different badging like Isuzu. Remember the Chevy LUV mini pick-up was an exact clone to the Isuzu mini pick-up back in the early 1980's. Consequently; if you own a VX, then you essentially own a GM product. Doh!!!

Don't forget the Duramax line of diesel engines-a rebranded Isuzu product from what I understand.

oh im very aware that the VX was a GM product basically...thats why its not the most reliable thing on the road and not exactly the most thought out (tiny windows, blind spots, poor back seat entry, leather problems, window problems)....
look at the rate of blown motors on the VX....much higher than it should be....
i LOVE the VX because of its originality, not because of who is it made by... plus the 4wd system is essential in colorado...
i hate working on anything GM made....they all are poorly put together and plasticey (sp) feeling to me.... ask anyone who works with interiors of cars and see what they think of GM....
cavalier- biggest nightmare car on the planet to work on...
gmc 3-door pickups- try getting to the left rear speaker....guaranteed to take minimum of 3 hours JUST for that speaker....(not to mention accessing the VX rear speakers)
sorry, dont mean to be a jerk but i hate GM, i curse every time i have to work on one...which in a 80% hispanic community is almost every day...
